Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread.

 

Those prices are more than reasonalbe IMHO. I went to the game in Alex vs Welly and was more than happy to pay $15, which isn't much. Good ground, good weather, by my count at least 10 fmr internationals, good game. What would you suggest as a better price? Considering a 2hour S14 match at the same venue costs at least $20.

$5 to see the slack caps capitulation part 2 .

 

I dont disagree that its expensive but I just think the double standard about supporting teams is funny.

 

 

So a 'duration of test' ticket?

 

 

I was thinking more along the lines of the Slack caps only play 3 day test matches it seems..

 

but your idea has merit.

 

Basin is looking sharp and it's starting to buzz here.

Looking OK to average for most of it but shouldn't be to much rain. Will be windy as f**k tomorrow. I'd make the Pakistanis bowl in that if NZ won the toss. The pitch shouldn't assist the bowlers too much either.

If the nix got ridiculously expensive,I wouldn't go either. Doesn't mean I don't support them through thick and thin.

 

I guess it's what you consider expensive. The cricket seems expensive in relation to what it used to be. But compared to other sports (including the Phoenix) it seems about right. Difficult to make a comparison as well, the cricket is an international fixture, most of the comparisons on here have been made to domestic sports.

 

Bit average that they have raised the single day prices but not the 5-day ones. Maybe they should look at a weekend pass or something.

Sorry man,

If being a supporter of a team means going to every game, paying whatever they charge you, and smiling as they rob you blind then I'm obviously not a Black Caps supporter.

I'm happy to pay for my member pass for the Phoenix every year, mainly because they (well at least mostly) show a bit of heart, respect their fans, and give their best.

Can't say I have the same feelings towards the black caps over the past year or so.
